How could I have waited so long??

by skywalkerbeth - last update: Jun 7, 2007

around every corner...

Colosseum at sunset
history is waiting.

I can't believe for all the times I have been to Europe (about 2 dozen times now) my first trip to Rome was November 2004.

I was amazed at the reach of the Roman Empire. I knew about the UK, since I had even walked on Hadrian's wall, but wasn't aware of its reach in Africa for instance. There are a series of murals near the Colosseum that I covet but to date have not found in print yet. (and my photos of it are dreadful).

bear with me as I fill in these pages.

enjoy this link while you are waiting, too:

EDIT MAY 17th 2006:

I leave in 2 more days for Italy yet again. look here later for more tips...

and June 2007, I am back from trip number 3 to Bella Roma.

Pros:"The antiquity preserved here. The amazing shopping!"
Cons:"I weep at the thought the Colosseum was nearly destroyed by plundering"
In A Nutshell:"Classical history meets modern Italian style"
